BIESSE MEETSthese requirements with cutting-edge techno-logical solutions that enhance and support tech-nical expertise as well as process and material knowledge. The NextStep flexible cutting centre is the only solution on the market that combines two processes in one: the flexibility of a machine with router and the precision of a squaring ma-chine. It is also the only solution that can ma-chine two overlapping panels simultaneously. Ideal for customers who need to diversify the production of small batches of panels.

BATCH ONE

A single project based on various machines and processes, with one important production target. A wide range of Biesse solutions ranging from cutting to flexible boring, with special attention paid to the piece squaring quality.

The batch-1 process allows the user to process small groups of different panels in sequence according to the specific production requirements, with zero set-up time and maximum production optimisation (for up to 1600 pieces per shift).

10

TOTAL INTEGRATION

Integration with the Winstore loader allows several panels, of different shapes and types, to be automatically managed so that different customer requirements can be met and production can be optimised and increased.

THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CLOSE AT HAND

bTouch is the new 21.5” touch screen which enables you to carry out all of the functions previously performed using the mouse and the keyboard, enhancing the direct interaction between the user and the device.

Perfectly integrated with the B_SUITE 3.0 interface (and with later versions) and optimised for touch, this solution is incredibly simple, and makes the best possible use of the Biesse software functions installed on the machine.The screen has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) at 60 Hz.Specifically, you can: Create any CAD programme (including parametric programmes), with layouts and machining operations Move, rotate and increase the size of objects (panel, NC machine, tool etc.) present within the CAD/CAM area Quickly and simply complete warehouse tooling, by dragging the tools into their designated places Prepare the machine for the correct positioning of the panel (machine set-up), moving tables and carriages into the desired position

Send a programme machining list, change the parameters and send it to the NC machine for processing Manage all of the soft-console controls

bTouch is an optional feature that can be purchased after purchase of the machine to enhance the functionality and the usage of the technology available.

Conscious design that understands soci-ety and skilfully changes it for the better. That’s the mission at the heart of Lago, a furniture company founded in 1976 with two simple concepts encoded in its DNA: curiosity and doing things well.

The common ground for the Biesse Group and Lago, which reinforces the historic part-nership between the furniture and carpentry sectors, is the Alliance project: a collection of brands, people and businesses that have decided to join the design company from Veneto on a journey of respect for our plan-et, ourselves and our future. The historic partnership is borne out by the innovative production plant that Biesse developed with Lago, completely restructuring the manu-facturing site. The result is the inclusion of a new Batch One facility within the existing production context, in the spirit of personal-isation, speed and flexibility. The facility has a new square-edging cell with Stream MDS and Winner W1, a new drilling cell with Skipper 130 and a new Selco WNR 650 sizing centre connected to Winstore 3D K1, which intelligently manages

all the material to be processed. “Including the ‘batch one’ process bolsters the ‘ just in time’ objective set by Lago, re-ducing the warehouses needed for semi-fin-ished products and raw materials, as well as reducing scrap material and elevating product quality. What’s more, it improves ef-ficiency, reduces time to delivery and offers complete control over the production flow,” explains Mauro Pede, Biesse Systems Sales Director. “The new investments have led us to a new productive flexibility that we will continue to implement, for a renewed production speed and even greater customisation of the range,” adds Daniele. Carlo Bertacco echoes the sentiment, “We are completing a 2,500 m2 expansion, to be even faster and more flexible while main-taining the extremely high level of quality that Lago is known for. It’s an equation that relies heavily on technology: I’m referring to one of the particularly valuable machines we purchased from Biesse – a small ‘Brema Eko’ – not only is it extremely flexible, it al-lows us to greatly simplify some steps, since we can process painted pieces without wor-

rying about damaging them. It’s proof that with clear ideas and a precise-ly organised work flow one can find simple solutions that produce excellent results.”
